Ere long, if everything goes well with
the projectors, Cincinnatians will be wit
Messing the odd spectacle of wagons scud-
ding about the streets delivering hot soup,
just as milk wagons go about the streets
delivering the lacteal fluid. The philan-
thropist who proposes to place the hot
soup boon within the reach of the most
ordinary Cincinnatian is Mr.. Ben Cul-
bert, the we'll known steward of thu river
steamer Paris Brown. Ben is at present
actively engaged in the organization of q
stock company for the manufacture and
distribution of soup. His idea is to in
augurate the enterprise in q small way
and let it grow up as the population and
appetite for soup of the city increases.
An establishment will be instituted where
from 5000 to 10000 gallons of soup will
be delivered in wagons to all parts Of the
city. The prospective customers arc the
saloons that serve warm lunches with
drinks and the tenants of flats who do
not cook at their rooms and take their
meals ON the outside. The soup will be
hauled about the city in cans and will be
ladled out just as milk is by the nilkmen.
Under each can there will be a glowing
gasoline stove, SO that the soup can be
served hot and ready for use.
In the variety of soups the manufac-
turers will play no favorite. They will
manufacture all kinds-about ten differ
ent varieties a day. Each wagon will be
supplied with all kinds cooked, so if the
customers do not see what they want let
them ask for it. This soup idea is already
in full fruition in New York and Boston.
In New York there are already half a
dozen companies engaged in the soup
business, and their customers are legion.
Of the western cities Cincinnati promises
to be the first to try the soup scheme on.

found to be a great aid to the instructor.
The ministry, many of whom are quick
to take advantage of all legitimate means
to FIJI their churches, have not been slow
to see that there was something in 1t. ="
1t was not very long time ago that the
Rev. c. u. Seaver, of Jefferson, Ills,
was preaching to a comparatively small
congregation. The same faces were al
ways seen before him in the pews, but
the attendants We're the brothers and sis
tiers who, everybody knew, We're follow
ers of the Lord, and for whom the blan-
dishments Of the world had no delight
The young and wayward did not come
within the sound of his voice, and MI
Seaver felt that he ought to leave his
flock Of ninety -and-nine and look for the
lamb that was lost.
Through some fortunate circumstance
lie was induced 10 get camera, and
then followed hours of study and expert
nent. Before long he purchased a
magic lantern, and one Sunday evening
the good people were astonished to hear
a sermon on Jonah and the whale, or
some other equally interesting subject,
with large pictures thrown upon a sheet
illustrating the address. During the fol-
lowing week the Illustrated sermon by
Er. Seayer became generally known, and
the next Sunday evening, when the sex
ton took up the collection, he saw many
new faces and the hat grew much heav-
ipr than the s00d hr0ihers wore wont IN
make it.
So the weeks went by and the congre-
cation continued 10 increase. Then a
scarcity Of hymn books was complained
of, and MIR. Seaver's next move was to
use his lantern and cast the hymn upon
a sheet where all could see. The singing
improved and few books are now used
while the interest in Mr.. Seaver's sermons
does not wane and the church is crowded

A TERRIBLE DISEASE.
Peculiarities of the Ahiiction Commonly
Called the Lockjaw-Tbe Treatment.

Peculiarities of the Aniiction Commonly
Called the Lockjaw-Tbe Treatment.
The medical name for lockiaw is
tetanus. Sometimes it is only, or mainly,
the muscles of the jaws that are affected
in the disease, but commonly the rigid
condition is much more extensive, often
reaching to most of the muscles of the
body. In its severer form it is one of the
most terrible of diseases. The mind
generally remains clear to the last, I'M
less it is blunted by opiates.
The disease begins by a pinched look of
the face. In few hours the muscles of
the jaws, neck, back and chest become
rigid, and the rigidity at length extends
to the limbs. This rigidity is permanent,
and sometimes it is so great that the body
could be taken up like a stick cf timber,
or il may rest its weight upon its head
and feet. From time to time spasnis oc-
cur, lasting a few seconds, or several
minutes.
The seat of the trouble is in the nerves,
and hence a spasm may be brought on by
slight noise, touch, or even a breath
of air.
AS the muscles of respiration are usu-
ally affected the breathing is greatly inn
peded, and often, for the time. rendered
wholly impossible, the chest being held
as i'll wise. Death frequently results
from this cause, the system being previ-
ously exhausted by pain and lack of sleep
and nourishment. If the patient survives
beyond the twelfth day, he is likely to
recover; but no known medicine is able
to do more than promote sleep and be-
numb the sensibilities.
The cause is unknown. 1t may follow
wounds, or be Independent of wounds,
the latter being the most hopeful cases.
The wound may be either severe or slight,
but most wounds are followed by tetanus.
1t is probable that, in persons of pecu-
liar nervous susceptibility, and under cer-
tain not well understood conditions,
poison is developed within the system.
Hence, the only hope of a cure is to sus-
tain the patient with stinnulants, nourish-
ment, and sleep until the system can
eliminate the poison.
In case of a severe wound, especially
in the neighborhood of nerve centers,
great care should be exercised in dress
ing the injury, SO as to bring the parts
well together, and the parts should be
kept clean with mild carbolic acid solu-
ton, Oh some other good antiseptic wash.

The primitive inhabitants of the mount
ain regions of Kentucky are in all things
a people by thenselves-so much so that
they regard visitors from other parts Of
the country as foreigners. Funerals are
very important events with these people,
and in order to make them more impress
sive they try to have as many ministers
as possible present, 1t is also said that
husbands are in the habit of postponing
the funeral services of their first wives
until their second wives can attend. And
a missionary tells of one man who was
living with his third wife without ever
having had any funeral services over his
two former wives. He gave as a reason
that his third wife might die at any time,
and then he could have a grand triple
funeral service for all three together

Colored people are apparently very

Compressed Air on Tap.

A down town merchant who had read
the story of !:How the Elevator Works, :"
short time ago, called the attention of
a reporter to the fact that in England
compressed air is considered much better
under some circumstances for operating
the elevator than water. In Liverpool,
London, and other ports, he said, the ele-
vators in the big warehouses were oper-
ated almost exclusively by compressed
air, which when exhausted into various
rooms of the buildings serves to ventilate
and purify them. Another advantage
claimed for compressed air is its great
elasticity. The elevators run more
smoothly and stop and start less alb
ruptly, and are less liable to breakage
when a quick stop is made than when
water is used.-New York Sun.
